The combination of Antigone, the psychological and physical abuse of jihadi grooming, and the horrors of present day UK media, social media and politics makes for a difficult read.

I heard Kamila Shamsie on Krishnan Guru-Murthy's "Ways to Change the World" podcast, thought she was very intelligent and articulate, and went to see what the library's e-book system had from her. This was the only offering unfortunately. Shamsie is indeed intelligent and articulate and her writing ability makes the rawness of the book's difficult combination bearable.

I feel ill-equipped to comment on the content. It's her lane.
